This is Not It !!

Sorry, weather was all wrong for the planned Blip need a dry frosty day for it, so you will have to wait, sorry again. Had a call from a custumer so did some Casting today. When I started doing this, about 10 years ago, I had 3 customers in England and 2 here in Germany. It was so busy that I was Casting 3 days a week, and L was doing the sorting and Packing, we earned very nicely from it.I was using over 100 kilos of metal a year. Which is a lot of Models !
Now they have all gone, well nearly, just Michael who orders about 3 times a year. Why? Well mainly the rocketing price of materials, the metal I use has gone up 300% in price, also cheap, good quality, products from Poland or the Czech Republic. The ridiculous cost of Postage, also a shrinking Market, young people don't make models, so as the older Generation slowly leave us, there are no one to follow. Sad, but that is the way....
Oh, the models here are a 2nd WW Anti Tank gun and a Guided Missile, need to be seperated from the Sprue, cleaned, sorted and packed, he wants 30 of them. Used to be 100 !
